That's why I said 'I thought it had been mentioned already'. My bad.

I'd like to throw in "Don't Be A Jerk, It's Christmas" by Garret Barati for best film/best set design, and "Trinity Help" by Trevor Boyd and Steve Ilett for best visual effects.

You know, I've always wanted to see a 'Most Entertaining Film' Category, because most of my favourite films this year are not necesarily ones that would fit into any of these categories. And 'Best Film' means 'those with best technical aspects overall'.

Also, 'Best Director'? Two people who would fit this category are Hazzat and Mindgame. These are people who have consistently produced enjoyable and high quality films throughout the year. In addition, they are both supportive and freindly members to this site.

For Trubador by Jason Boyle for Best Film.

I don't want to start a rebelish fight here, but it seems with the influx of brickfilming series (Steve & Dave style) an award for best series would be in place. That's just MY OPINION THOUGH D:<

Best Film means what it says; technical aspects count, but factors like story and entertainment value are just as valid, and I think we are well aware of the danger of going simply by style when nominating films.

Dangers? Do tell. I think Max and others are right. Having extra categories is a good idea. The most entertaining or funny film might not even get nomiated for best film.

I do like the idea of a "Viewers Choice" best film award, as it opens it up to everyone and maybe recognizes some work that might otherwise go unnoticed.

But I think we should stay away from adding too many additional categories. If we include Best Comedy and Best Action Film, where does it go from there? Best use of animals? Best sneeze? Best film by a guy named Mike? Giving out more awards kind of seems like it would diminish the value of those we already have.

Viewers Choice would a great award, I think it will be more fun for the whole community to have their opinion in the BIMI's

How about these additions?

-Viewers Choice
-Most fitting to Genres "Ex. Sci-Fi, Horror, Comedy,..."
-"Unforgetables"(ones that were well known and loved, but other films beat them in categorys)

Okay, I'm open to the possibility of a "Best Film" award determined by user votes, in addition to the regular best film category.  I agree with what's been said about the problems with genre-based categories.

Should this viewers' choice award be completely write-in?  The limitations I'm thinking of are that you would have to have registered in 2008 or earlier (including Refugee Camp), and you cannot vote for a film in which you had any involvement.

And claskey/brick4brains, just because you've given yourself a bad reputation on this site doesn't mean you can start a new account and pretend to be new.  Though reading a couple of claskey's posts made this pretty obvious to me.  We have had this happen a few times in the past and it's frowned upon.
